Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King is the sports legend who became famous after winning the tennis match against Bobby Riggs in 1973, which became known as “The Battle of the Sexes”, an event so important that a film was made about it starring Emma Stone as Billie. Billie was an avid advocate for gender equality, getting big companies to sponsor female sports. In 1987 she was introduced to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and was also the first prominent athlete to come out as gay in 1981.
